haha! yeah right....
We already studied that a while back in my humanities class.
First of all, that video is very old... and the research was flawed!
The black Kids were given ugly black dolls ( as black dolls were not massed produced back then) and they were compared to flawless porcelain white dolls!
come on! we are referring to kids here!!!! Of course the children are going to go with the more attractive doll! Now thats a fact!
PS: why don't you further elaborate on what happened when that test was repeated in the Southern states???? As all the black kids choose the black dolls....
Now that, my friend, just disproves your theory! haha!
PS:
I'm talking about an actual research called the test of the dolls... and where did you get your numbers from??? 15 out 0f 20 my a.ss! :)

Curious.... your answer reeks of ignorance. You need to open up a book or two and educate yourself. I don't know one black person who wishes they were white. Out of all of the black people I know only 1 is with someone white. I have never dated a white man. And, I prefer black men who are darker than me because I think dark skin is beautiful. So, maybe you should stop trying to pull theories about black people out of your as$ because you obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Now... on to the question... for hundreds of years black people have been taught that they are unattractive and that we are not as good as white people. You see it all day every day on tv. Societies standard of beauty is white. Kinky hair, dark skin, big lips, a curvy body is supposed to be unattractive.

Brainwashing. Blacks are rarely shown positively in the media. Take BET (white owned), for example. Most Black girls aren't half-naked light skin/Indian lookin girls who forget the rest of their outfits, stranded on an island w/ P Diddy..I digress. It's just been conditioned. Once Blacks take over our own media, we won't have this problem anymore.
